Taake "Kong Vinter"

Taake (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈtɔːkə], TAW-kə) is a Norwegian black metal band from Bergen, formed in 1993 and originally named Thule. The band's one continuous member is Hoest, who writes and records most of the music. He has released six full-length albums and several EPs. The band describes itself as "True Norwegian black metal", and Hoest said that he wants to "awaken national pride and cultural nostalgia in my Norwegian listeners" as well as to remind people "that Hell is right here on Earth and that humans can be demons". All lyrics are in Hoest's native dialect and are printed in Norse runes. "Taake" is the old spelling of the Norwegian word "tåke", meaning "fog".

Kong Vinter is the seventh full-length album from Norwegian black metal band Taake. It was released on November 24, 2017.

“Kong Vinter” means ''King Winter" in English.
